Solana Hits Record 4.2B Transactions as SOL Tops $100

Solana's blockchain network has reached unprecedented levels of activity, processing a record 4.2 billion transactions in July while its native token, SOL, rallied above $100 for the first time since February. The surge in network usage and price action reflects a combination of renewed application-based demand and broader market optimism fueled by U.S. Treasury policy. Data released on August 25 showed that Solana handled 4.2 billion transactions in July, a 13.5% increase from June and a 91% jump since December 2025. This momentum has continued into August, with the network setting a new weekly record for non-voting transactions, exceeding 1.3 billion in the seven days ending August 23.
